I know it wouldn't be any technology break, but I'd really like to see AAA coming out, maybe with a few modifications s to also support AGA registers ... IIRC the thing was almost finished :-(  It's like those people who like old card or something 8-)

"...emualtor can meet my needs."

On most stuff that targets the native chipset emulators have flaws, sometimes very big ones. It's the only thing that I miss. Apart from that I agree, buy hey, I think it's a shame to let the platform die so I'll try to support one of the upcoming PPC solutions, I really like AmigaOS. Ok I'm getting off topic...

"...amiga hardware is dead, it's not just dead, it's buried aswell."

Not really. There are still plenty used in video and image stuff even professionaly. Take also into account that alot of the "old programs" are really still usable today for plenty tasks where brute force processing power is not needed.
There is one thing that I think will never die, wich is the pure interest for the thing as a computer.
